Beau Sia, Slam Poet Extraordinaire

Beau Sia is a slam poetry contestant. In 1998, he put out the slam poetry album on CD, Attack! Go! Go!

It was through Sia that 2011 National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship for Poetry winner, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz got interested in slam poetry.

Slam poetry is what I'd call a flyting "martini." Its insults could easily result from clever tricks of the tongue. Yet no one would believe just they've been subject to even one insult.

In some ways, even slam poets would beg to differ, for slam poetry reminds me of my potential greatness were it not for me being a total fanboy of the greatness of the Buddha.

I am a f@##?t Canadian (apologies to Green Day) - NWSF (parody)

Are you a real bad American idiot?
Are you a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of paranoia?
The schizophrenic mindfucked American.

Welcome to a new medication
Worsening the alienation.
Where everything tells not gonna be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot Canadian.
But you're a part of a redneck agenda.
Now I am here to do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.
